Liposculpture

In the industry of cosmetic surgery some people use these terms interchangeably, but there are distinct differences in these two plastic surgery procedures.

Liposuction is used to remove medium to large amounts of contour fat and to diminish the peaks and mounds that render a heavy and sloppy appearance. Some areas covered by liposuction. These include areas such as below the chin, outer breasts, upper arms, lower abdomen, hips, and thighs.

Liposculpture is used in the removal of small to medium amounts of fat in rather normal to full areas to sharpen features and accentuate the muscles beneath or to create a more cut appearance in the neck, outer buttocks, lower cheeks, upper abdomen, calves, and ankles.

The best candidates for liposculpture are young people with good skin elasticity and firmness. Obese and elderly people with significant amount of excess skin and/or poor skin elasticity like wrinkles and cellulite may achieve only limited amount of improvement after Liposculpture.

Results can be very rewarding for the serious post liposculpture candidates that are willing to keep up with proper diet and exercise. Those patients that will be making the effort to keep such a healthy life style should do well. Therefore a serious commitment is needed to preserve and even improve the new body shape.

In many cases some improvement in body contour can be seen immediately, and when swelling subsides over the next few months the final shape will be evident if the patient maintains a healthy life style.
